Sisterhood

Hello lovely Friends!

Today we meet with our talented Kasia who not only created the most beautiful canvas (+ a video!) but is also sharing a very inspiring story behind this creation.
Please enjoy this brilliant lesson on not giving up and artful recycling! :)

Hello friends!

I'll bet each of you have been in such a
situation at least once - you are starting a new project and from the beginning
something keeps going wrong… Your initial plans were completely different and nothing seems to be working. Well, I know this feeling, too :)

The base of this
project is a canvas that I started a few weeks ago. Nothing special,
right? The colors went wrong and nothing made sense in general... I just threw it under the
desk.

However,
because I hate to waste materials and don't like giving up, I took this canvas out and decided to
give it another chance.

It was definitely a better day and after choosing
the photo, it all went swimmingly. These two sweet girls are my friend's
daughters and I think they will like this canvas very much.

I
started by painting everything with Heavy White Gesso - it's every mixed media artist's best friend and always comes to the rescue when you want to cover or hide any unwanted parts.

Here and there
the original color was showing but this time it went with my new vision.

My next step was
playing with the Mica Powders and pigments. I chose some colors and created a new
background. You will be able to see how I did it in the video below.

This
project is very rich. I used a lot of chipboards that I painted with watercolors to make them match the
project.

And of course - I couldn't do without flowers that I love so much! Not only are they pretty, but also work
just perfectly to fill in all the empty places and to create layers and dimension.

I covered all my flowers here with the gesso to make them blend in more with this project.

The last step was to
sprinkle them with Glass Glitter which created an amazing effect.

I
also made my own embellishments with the beautiful metal Mechanicals Lotus flowers.
